| Distribution | Afghanistan (Girishk region) Type locality: 55 km west of Girishk, Aghanistan. |
| Reproduction | oviparous |
| Types | Holotype: CAS 120322, adult female; paraypes: FMNH, CAS |
| Diagnosis | Diagnosis. Three to 5 subpostfemoral tubercles; dorsal tubercles almost always separated from one another by 2 or more small juxtaposed scales or granules, 26-29 tubercles in a paravertebral row extending from immediately behind head to level of vent; 37-40 abdominal scales across middle of belly; a total of 35-46 femoral and preanal pores (seen as slight depressions in the scales in females), the series separated in midline by one or two scales lacking pores or depressions; 15 to 19 interorbital scales (Leviton & Anderson 1984). Color pattern: a mottling of brown spots on head, a thin chevron-shaped marking on occiput, 6 irregular dark brown crossbars on dorsum, and 15 dark crossbars on the tail; many tubercles on back that are not positioned within dark crossbars are almost white; both fore- and hind-limbs barred with 6 to 7 dark bars; venter without dark markings (Leviton & Anderson 1984). Comparisons. Cyrtodactylus voraginosus differs from C. fedtschenkoi in having a greater number of interorbital scales and of ventral scales across the abdomen, and smaller dorsal tubercles (see Figs. 1C, 1E). From C. I. longipes, C. voraginosus can be distinguished by its smaller ventral scales, and from C. l. microlepis by its larger tubercles and greater number of interorbital scales (Leviton & Anderson 1984). |
